Nathan Juran (U.S., 1958). Introduced by Phil Tippett. For this fantastical tale from a 1,001 Nights,
Ray Harryhausen perfected the integration of three-dimensional animated
figures and live actors, and inspired generations of filmmakers and
special-effects artists to come. (88 mins)

Scenes has been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.

This 1983 PBS behind the scenes look at the creatures of 'Return of the Jedi' is an awesome glimpse into the ILM model shop during it's prime. There's lots of footage of work in progress puppets and stop-motion rigs from the film.
